Chicken left out!!

[disneyisnaff]

I took chicken and sausages out yesterday to defrost. OH was meant to put in the refrigerator last night I've slept in this morning and woke up and he forgot. So the chicken has been left out all night thawing.
I'm not sure it's ok to cook. OH thinks it is ok?

Help!!

In this heat I wouldn't risk it.

How warm does it feel to touch, still slightly chilled or summer room temperature?

TBH I'd still use it if it smells OK, but if it was frozen when left out, if might not be a swarm as you'd think.

Nope nope nope

Is it still cold, or is it room temperature? What is the room temperature?

I wouldn't risk it unless it still felt cold or was in a cool room - both of which are unlikely in this heat. It's chicken - you don't mess with chicken!

Not the chicken in summer. Even if it’s still mostly cold you only need one room temp bad patch.

Well we ate it and no problems. It didn't feel cool though but oh insisted it would be fine

Eeesh. Fingers crossed for you.

No x

Well we ate it for tea yesterday and we were all ok! I barely ate any though 😂

I wouldn't count yourself lucky until you're 72 hours clear.

But let's hope you are. I'm very over caution with meat since a bad case of E.Coli years back. X
